Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
- Show pictures, videos and drawings of organisms in their various homes (habitats). - Take learners on a field trip (or a tour of the school environment) to study about some ecosystems, e. g. (1) Birds and insects on a tree (2) Frogs and fish in a pond/stream (3) Grasshoppers, insects on a grass field (4) Different plant on a farm. - Assist learners to identify some observable features that enable organisms to live successfully in their habitat e.g. tilapia has fins to help it swim in a pond. Birds have wings to help them. - Guide learners to discuss the following: (1) is a frog a fish? (2) Why can't a fish live on land? - Learners plan, design and draw posters showing organisms in their natural homes.
